Maintenance Schedule-Inspect every 50 hours of vehicle operation
Inspect the nylon sliders every 50 hours. The nylon sliders are mounted in the driven
clutch moveable pulley. When the clutch shifts, the cam moves on the nylon sliders.
Replace the nylon sliders before there is aluminum to aluminum contact between the cam
and the moveable pulley. Driven clutch disassembly is required to replace the nylon
sliders properly.
Lubricate the driven clutch every 50 hours with a silicone based lubricant such as WD-40.
Spray the lubricant into the clutch unit, directing the spray onto the spring, bushing and
the sliding areas of the cam pulley and the fixed cam where the cam shoes make contact.
Do not attempt to lubricate the driven clutch while the engine is running.
Do NOT spray lubricant onto the drive belt, brake disc or clutch faces. Allow the
lubricant to dry before using the vehicle. If the lubricant is not dry, use of the vehicle will
attract dirt and cause damage to the clutch components.
A complete service of the clutch units is required after every 250 hours of operation. To
perform this procedure, the clutches must be disassembled. Special tools are required to
disassemble the clutch units. Perform the servicing procedures, Driven or Driver Clutch
Removal & Disassembly in this section of the service guide.
